how long did you wait after changing the Quota?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
i have a problem with exchange 2003 quota, my server is working fine with no problems until today,<br />
sudenly one user complained about returning mails, from a quick diagnostic of the message i realized it's a quota issue,<br />
but when i change the quota for this user i see that nothing is changed,<br />
i checked the mailbox size (1.6 GB) and i set the quota to prohibit send at 2000000 KB so the problem is not here,<br />
i tried deleting something like 50 MB from the mailbox (deleted items as well) and still can't send,<br />
the user can get incoming mails<br />
and i also checked how are other users that have a mailbox bigger then 1.6GB are configured and they are configured to use the mailbox store defaults (i've also tried putting this mailbox on the default with no change)<br />
<br />
so exept from the solution to this problem i need to know a few stuff,<br />
1. is there a time period that i shuld wait before the changes to the quota takes effect?<br />
2. if there is something like that is it posiable to manually do it faster<br />
<br />
thanks

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
